Did you know...
On average, it takes about one-tenth of a tree to produce a single roll of traditional toilet paper. That may not sound like much, but when you multiply it by the billions of rolls used globally each year, the environmental toll becomes massive.
Here’s a quick breakdown:.
Tree-to-Roll Impact
- 1 tree can yield approximately 1,440 rolls of toilet paper
- 17 trees are needed to produce 1 ton of toilet paper
- The U.S. alone uses over 36 billion rolls annually, which translates to millions of trees
Why Bamboo? Great Question
Unlike traditional tissue, which relies on slow-growing trees and high water consumption, bamboo is fast, regenerative, and gentle on the planet.
